"Peace is one word for it, I suppose. But then I am not one to talk, given all of my experiences with gods." Ronin shrugged his shoulders. "I was surprised as well - when we first arrived here, Ludo seemed to delight in torturing Remi. But it gives him a sense of purpose now, so... I cannot complain." He imagined that the alchemist felt the same way regarding his relationship to Safrin.
The news about the Ascended and their portal opening had Ronin nibbling at his lower lip; he had no interest in using the portals beyond what he had to, but it seemed that a goddess's plight trumped his personal feelings. And well - if it would get Vanya down from the sky...
"I haven't thankfully enough," he said of any new Ascended. "It doesn't seem to have stopped them though, does it? Ah, here we go."
Nodding across the water, Ronin directed Jigano's attention to the returning cloud. Above it, the Sage would see a large, lazily drifting manta ray, tethered there by the rope that Ronin had used to lasso it. It wasn't even dead - he should count himself lucky.
